Roads: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much capital funding has the Welsh Government received for highway maintenance up to 2030.
Answered by James Murray
The Department for Transport received additional funding for highway maintenance at Spending Review 2025, and the Barnett formula was applied in the usual way in line with the funding arrangements set out in the Statement of Funding Policy. At Spending Reviews, because the Barnett formula is not applied to the individual programmes driving the change in a UK department’s DEL budget, the Barnett consequentials associated with highway maintenance funding cannot be identified.
